300 Largest Cities in America 2024  

Thank you! I really appreciate that! It took almost 3 weeks!

Similar to Germany, where a "Large City" (Großstadt) starts at 100,000 inhabitants. We have 82 of them. Place 300 has 38,929 unhabitants.

I'm from India India top 10 city population Mumbai :- 25,000,000 Delhi :- 20,800,000 Kolkata :- 18,000,000 Chennai :- 13,000,000 Bangalore:- 11,000,000 Hyderabad:- 9,800,000 Ahmedabad:- 8,900,000 Pune:- 8,000,000 Surat:-7,200,000 Jaipur:- 6,200,000

Do you know where Milwaukee, Wisconsin is? Greetings 🤗🇺🇲

I concur. The rubber duck squeak MADE this video.

Yesss! To see if my places everywhere ive lived is in the list

Salinas is losing about 2% of its population annually. It made the list of being one of the most desirable cities in the US to live in. The crime rate is too terrible, so why are people leaving???

It's not odd because Hempstead is technically a town that's made up of three municipalities. South Hempstead, West Hempstead and Oyster Bay. If we were to measure population like that, Las Vegas would be around 2M.

@@arejayerobsterlife5653 I honestly think it would have been better just to do metropolitan statistical area populations. A very defined area that shows the expansion and influence of the city. A lot of your more eastern cities never expanded city limits much. Yea, it would leave out some cities, but it would still show a lot more realistic populations.

​@@BBGOnYT There are a lot of videos that do that out there. None do the entire list of metros but nobody has done a video covering the three hundred largest cities either.

@@arejayerobsterlife5653 Slight misinformation there, you are thinking of Nassau County which is broken up into 3 different towns: Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay. Each of those is a separate municipality and is not included in the same population count you are thinking of. Additionally, while you are correct that South Hempstead and West Hempstead are both located in the town of Hempstead, both of those are considered "hamlets" which means they do not have a local government and rely entirely on the town to handle local services (South Hempstead only has a population of 3k). So I feel it isn't fair in this case to not include Hempstead. New York in general (and especially Long Island) has a very weird definition of what is considered a "town" versus a "city" and in any other state Hempstead would be named a city.

You are right. So aren't the residents demanding incorporation?

Both of them are on there! Eugene is #152 and Salem is #151!

Maybe Beaumont TX was missed as well?

Beaumont is at a decline at 109,000.

@@arejayerobsterlife5653 Gotcha! You must have access to some very recent Census data.

Thanks, I do now. Wrong flag!

St. Louis is on there

Yep! It was bound to happen....

Big cities care a lot more about revenue from occupational taxes than property and income taxes, so they aren't too worried about declining population numbers. They bring in industries with tax breaks, then tax the workers, many of whom don't live in the city limits. It's the reverse welfare state you never hear about, where the income is redistributed upward.

Nope it's not. It picked up again. NYC has a housing shortage.

@@ahmedzakikhan7639 De-nope. The city's has had a housing "shortage" ever since Stuyvesant surrendered. (Actually there is no shortage if you got the cheddar - to pay.)

It's actually not misleading. But I'll do the 300 Metropolitan Areas as well! Some are getting large while some are decreasing!

@@arejayerobsterlife5653 I wasn't saying that you were misleading...you followed the data of city limits. All I was saying is that city limits really don't give a real picture of the area. For example, Atlanta looks relatively small if only measured by city limits while the metro area is over 6,000,000 and in the top 10 in the nation. I appreciate you hard work and look forward to future videos!

@@raydaniel2490 I got it...I am working on the 300 Metro Areas! Stay tuned!

The problem is, there are 381 MSA. And even less CSA

I chose to use flags, that's not a mistake. I goofed on a few. Probably less than 20 out of 300, if that! I like flags... and I wanted to highlight some of the newer state flags!

It's Kansas City, KS.

Kansas City is in Missouri

@@ben7260 That's #37. Kansas City, KS is #183. They are two separate cities.

Whoops. Good catch!

Yes sir. Americans normally shorten the USA to America, most of the world does it too...Maybe for the exception of the rest of North America.

@@arejayerobsterlife5653Right we are Americans. If we wanted to distinguish from USA, it would be North America.
